KALAMAZOO, MI -- MLive.com's latest food project aims to name Michigan's Best BBQ and you can decide which Kalamazoo joints makes the cut.

Much like we did with the Michigan Coney Dog Project, MLive.com entertainment reporter John Gonzalez will travel the state sampling the best barbecue from several markets, including Kalamazoo. But first, we must determine the best options in each location.

For the best barbecue in Kalamazoo, we're relying on you to select the Top 2 barbecue joints in the Kalamazoo area -- whether it's a catering company, roadside smoker or restaurant. The poll will be open until 6 a.m. Tuesday.

The Top 2 will represent Kalamazoo in the statewide contest.

Gonzalez will then begin to travel the state in his quest to crown Michigan's Best BBQ.
